Another option to catch the day’s last rays: head slightly inland to The Barrel, a bastion for craft beer with a fenced-in, dog-friendly, kid-friendly, grassy patio directly on the tidal marsh. You can’t beat the winning combo of sunset and shuffleboard, with an assortment of food trucks on weekends, picnic tables, cauldron fires, live bands, and even the occasional appearance of owner Chad Reynolds’ pet goat.
